   Sounds familiar.  If you disable flow control on the NIU's, it seems to
work at slower baud rates, as long as you do not overflow the NIU buffer.  
With xon/xoff set, the flow control chars are used as real control stuff,
causing strange things to happen.  
   Hardware flow control is the only reasonable way to go about things.
Also, if you have the newer U/B 180 NIU's, you might find yourself in
a deeper hole than you think.  layers doesn't seem to work properly on the
180, for reasons I am not quite sure of.  But I am sure someone more
knowlegeable can answer it for me (please!).
